A deer spike. How ingenious! No problem at airports, and in its' own way, quite politically correct.
After all, like the noble Indians, you're trying to make use of all parts of the deer, and it's 100% natural and organic!
You didn't get that idea from "Braveheart" did you? Seems to me that the crazy Irish guy in that movie pulled one of those on one of Mel Gibsons' lieutenants in one scene.
I've had that thing on my keychain since '91.
[I've also had a brass Claddagh medallion on there since '79]...LOL!
I've dropped it onto blacktop and concrete and always expected it to break but it never has.
[unlike the 6 inch boar tusk that used to hang beside of it]
I keep several spike antlers in reserve, just in case, but it seems that it's going to last a very long time.
I was a bit freaked [and overjoyed] to see the Wallace whip out a similar antler during the village fight scene.
When the English outlawed swords [and kilts and bagpipes] ingenious Scotsmen were forced to use whatever else was at hand and a sharpened stag's horn was a common weapon.
So yeah, I guess I could fall back on the PC "it's part of my cultural heritage" excuse....;D
